Dr. Lisa Bitel walks me through the ancient Irish Epic, The Tain. This book is also called "the Irish Iliad". I'd recommend reading this one AFTER listening to the episode.

A Poem:
The Surfing Irishman
A nadb named dabd did misbehadb
He stole another surfers wadb
You’d think that he could be forgadb
But poor old Dadb is in his gradb.
